Continuing the "YOU HAVEN'T SEEN" conversation from the last thread:
I admit that I'd get a kick out of the reaction people would have when they found out I hadn't seen any of the Godfather or Rocky movies.
Then I went ahead and saw the Godfather movies. And about 1.5 Rocky movies.
My gf still has her "YOU HAVEN'T SEEN" intact: Star Wars. She claims she will go to her grave having never seen anything Star Wars related.
I actually never realized how often I used to quote those movies until we started dating and I would get hit with "I don't know that reference" every so often.

I watched enough cartoons and SNL growing up that I basically had the entirety of The Godfather spoiled for me by the time I watched it.
Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.
One thing popular culture had not told me about the Godfather 3: Incest. As like a major driver of the plot. And not just the incest, but the fact that everyone in the movie except Michael Corleone is cool about it. Also everyone treats him like he's crazy for being like "Hey maybe don't fuck your cousin."
I was just like, "Seriously, we as a culture just let this one go? We just decided to not talk about this?"
My "I HAVEN'T SEEN" list is vast enough that I just default it to "I haven't seen movie" until I occasionally switch it up with "Oh, wait, I did catch that one."

My "You haven't seen" list is too embarrassing to share really.
I have a 'to watch' list of about 2,500 films, but I don't think I have very many embarrassing blind spots. Most of the people I talk to about movies assume I've seen what they have.

Well, what one of them looked like. They tend to vary a lot depending on the layout of the building. The one pictured there has been demolished for years.

I dunno. Even in the part of the country where we get incest jokes lobbed our way constantly it's pretty darn taboo.

I know this is shocking, but different cultures have different standards for who constitutes "too close to family to fuck." The US has stricter social taboos towards cousins marrying than most other countries do. Specifically in the case of Godfather 3, the Italians care less than the Americans, and Michael caring tells us something about his own cultural identity.

isn't it legal to marry a first cousin in most of the US
First cousin relationships are legal in most places and also most studies show that potential birth defects from such pairings are very low
It's a cultural taboo not really rooted in anything other than "ick"
well it's a real psychological thing that you're way less likely to develop any sexual attraction to people you grow up in close proximity with, and for a lot of Americans, their cousins are almost as close as siblings
it wouldn't at all surprise me to find out that's got something to do with it

Jebediah Springfield: People, our search is over! On this site we shall build a new town where we can worship freely, govern justly, and grow vast fields of hemp for making rope and blankets. Shelbyville Manhattan: Yes! And marry our cousins. Jebediah Springfield: I was- wha... what are you talking about, Shelbyville? Why would we want to marry our cousins? Shelbyville Manhattan: Because they're so attractive. I... I thought that was the whole point of this journey. Jebediah Springfield: Absolutely not! Shelbyville Manhattan: I tell you, I won't live in a town that robs men of the right to marry their cousins!

my haven't seen list is relatively small, and usually because i just don't like the director/genre
so a lot of sci fi, no fantasy, and looper
Except for Conan the Barbarian/Destroyer, Heavy Metal and any Ralph Bakshi stuff, right?

Cannot wait for the answer to this question
i have seen clips of ralph bashki stuff, but never a full non- cool world movie. i probably couldn't, tbh.
heavy metal's fantasy segment barely has anything more than boobie girls in strategically ill-fitting armor and maybe a lizard man? plus that segment is short.
conan is the most fantasy i can handle, and I'm mostly just there for the blood orgy. it really stretches the limits, though.

Mostly remembering it as notable because it hit theaters on my birthday.
my thing is that they tend to enrage me

I'm pretty sure that Bakshi is more important for all the weirdos who watched his stuff and then went and made better things
I'm sure i'll hate them, but i feel like they have to be the most seventies thing
Yeah. I think my feelings on Bakshi are exactly my feelings on R Crumb for comics.
Boy, that's an experience when hopped up on some decent medication.
